And then there were azaleas

So, it goes like this: First the daffodils, narcissus, hyacinths and tulips. Then the Bridal Wreath. Then the Azaleas, then the dogwoods. Sometimes it’s the dogwoods then the azaleas but really, it’s entirely up to them as to which one blooms first. I think they take turns. Work it out between themselves somehow. Here is the Bridal Wreath (Vanhoutt spirea):

 

All of those clusters of blooms that cover this thing are these tiny little “bouquets” that you see below. One blossom is the size of your fingernail. Tiny.

Then the Formosa Azaleas…

I have no idea what these are…if they’re Formosa or if they’re something else but I’m beginning to love the color on these even more than the hot pink of the ones we’ve had for years.

Wisteria is blooming in The Dubya’s mawmaw’s front yard and I plan to sneak over for a few shots of that before the blooms start fading. The dogwoods in the woods are blooming their hearts out but the ones in our yard have not started yet. Heck, they may be dead…who can tell without breaking a branch?
